Perth

Well we finally made it to our destination - Perth! We went straight to Nanna and Grandpops place to say hello. Mum and Dad left us there while they went to set up camp.
We have been having a great time here. We have been to the beach (Hillary's Marina), Kings Park and out to tea at some of Daddy's Perth friends houses.

Here are some pics of our time so far.

Gracetown Adventures

We have been spending our days in Gracetown with our cousins Alex and Sienna and Aunty Ness and Uncle Kim. They live in Perth and it has been great getting to know them again. We have been doing lots of sightseeing.
We went to some wineries (its ok though we didn't try any...we just played on the playground), a cheese factory, a Maze park, the Chocolate Factory, the Nuts and Cereal Factory and just for Daddy...a Coffee Factory!
We also went to the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse and it was sooo windy (as you can see in the photo!)

Day 11 Albany to Gracetown (Margaret River)

Ah what a day. We did some sightseeing around Albany in the morning and then it started to rain. So we said good bye to Mama and Baba for a few days and headed off to Gracetown. We didn’t arrive till tea time so we had to go off with Mummy and get tea sorted while Daddy put the trailer up

Day 10 Esperance to Albany

Another day of driving…but we made it in time to have a run on the beach! It was heaps of fun. Mummy and Daddy decided that we would stay in a 2 bedroom cabin tonight and it was really nice! Our last night before we get to stop for a few days break.




Day 9 Fraser Range Station to Esperance

A super early start to the day…5am!! All thanks to Josh who had to go to the toilet. Daddy saw some lightening in the sky so he decided that it was time to get up and pack up in case it rained. We didn’t starve too much as Mama brought us nice warm toast with Vegemite again while we waited in the car.
We went to a lovely beach called Twilight Beach and had a great time swimming and running around. Even Chloe loved it!
We went and saw a sea lion that lives under the jetty.

Day 8 Mundrabilla to Fraser Range Station

It was a cold start to the morning. We got out and played in the dirt with our cars in our pyjamas and jumpers on.
Today we drove on the Longest Straight Road Stretch in Australia. It went for 146kms.
We camped at a Station House and it was great! We set up and then went for a walk around the property, looking at horses and Baba told us all about the old shearing shed.










Day 7 Ceduna to Mundrabilla

An early start to today…we had to sit in the car out of the cold while Mummy and Daddy put the trailer down. Lucky we have Mama and Baba with us though as they bring us nice warm buttered toast to eat while we wait.
Today we crossed the Nullarbor Plain which is a treeless plain. We also went to the Head of the Great Australian Bight. When we crossed into Western Australia Mummy had to hand in our unopened bottle of honey at the border. She wasn't very happy about that!
Mundrabilla is a Roadhouse where we camped for the night. We did what we do all the time…played with our cars in the dirt.






Day 6 Port Augusta to Ceduna

Off we head again…we stopped at Kimba, home of The Big Galah and the halfway point across Australia! We had a cream buns for Morning Tea there and they were yummo!
Ceduna is a lovely town by the water. We all had fish and chips for tea and watched the sun set over the water and had a play on the sand and the playground there.








Day 5 Broken Hill to Port Augusta

Today we crossed into South Australia. It was great driving into Port Augusta as we could finally see water after a few days of bush. Port Augusta is at the top of Spencer Gulf. We went to the water and had a play at the playground to use up all our energy!
